I used to be ambivalent about Troy Baker because many (most?) of his roles are "Hot-Headed Cool Guy" using his normal speaking voice (e.g. Yuri from ToV, Snow from FF13, Jake from RE6) but then I heard his Joker and man it pretty good.

HIs performance as Joel in TLOU is honestly really, really good, especially the voice work. The making of has a behind the scenes outtake that will probably, honestly, make him your favorite voice actor. I don't want to spoil it in case you haven't played The Last of Us.

The main VA cast of Legacy of Kain was top fuckin' tier (Simon Templeman, Michael Bell, Tony Jay, Richard Doyle) Also the main cast of Nier. (i,.e. Jamieson Price, Laura Bailey, Liam O'Brien)

Also even though he's in everything Steve Blum will never not be cool. Dave Fennoy is cool too.

For indie games seconding Logan Cunningham. I also like Abe Goldfarb who's in all the WadjetEye games and Ashly Burch who's a hell of a lot better than you'd expect a former YouTube star to be.

Definitely agree with this. Voice acting and plot was Shakespearean.

TLOU was brilliant, I don't own any sony consoles, but I watched a video walkthrough, and it was a great video game movie.

The gameplay was pretty lovely, and going through it just to get lovely soap opera level writing was extremely frustrating.

Nolan North gave an interview a couple of years ago stating that if you ever here his "Drake" voice in other games it's because he was specifically told by the voice director to do it that way. He would like to vary it up but most of the time they just want the voice he's famous for.

I have never played Uncharted so my Nolan North mental image is Stephen Heck and that dude from Spec Ops

Not to interrupt this scintillating discussion, but the new Monster Factory is a work of art: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v1v0t8Q5xg

Where did Polygon even come from I feel like one day they just popped up and started putting out good poo poo

Monster Factory is amazing, if you haven't already tracked down their other series like Griffin's Amiibo Corner and Tomodachi Survivor they're pretty fun too. Even the quick looks are usually entertaining so long as a McElroy is involved.

I don't really read or care about the site proper but it's nice to see that people are still holding a grudge over a three year old console hardware review I guess.

quote:

During Fable 2 I had this idea to give the player a choice at the end of the game to sacrifice their dog for more wealth. I made sure to be there when Colin[the QA tester] was testing this part of the game, I looked closely at his eye ducts during the process. He had previously chosen the option to save the dog but now he had to choose to sacrifice the dog for purposes of exposing new potential bugs.

Not one single tear.

I asked him why he wasn�t crying. He then proceeded to tell me that he felt no connection to the dog other than hate because the dog was responsible for about 80% of the game�s bugs.

�But what about when you taught your dog a trick? Did you not find that doing so made the dog an extension of yourself?�

He looked confused, empty, soulless and tired.

You see, the dog to him was just a piece of code. He was forced to play the game differently to how I wanted players to play my game.

I had to let him go. I can not begin to tell you the amount of QA testers that I have had to send away because they didn�t cry at REALLY sad moments in my games. They are good at finding bugs but terrible at finding emotion in games.

From then on I vowed to only employ normal people for a new role that I titled �Emotion testers�.

He must be a QA tester.
